The near end, with an old school desk that lived in my grandparent's basement, in the house next door. Also a cool fish from sculptor and landscape architect Jim Gardner.
The far end, with Buddha and an old log rack. When finished, the 8' x 35' bed will contain: white roses, lilacs, purple tulips, iris, grape hyacinth, baby's breath, morning glories, moonflowers, and cerinthe. Virginia Woolf's lover Vita Sackville-West, had a whole garden of white. Mine is white and purple.
The boy, in front this time. Dig the hostas!
A little artsy for me, but she looked so damn cute. The lilac bush is technically our neighbor's, but it was planted by my grandfather during the Depression, so I think Rosie has a right to play under it (and I to steal seedlings).
The duck makes a triumphant return, among the tulips and lilacs this time. She let me rototill not a yard from her head without hissing--maybe we have a new pet.

1) Dogs don't garden.
2) Love the Rosie pic.
Mmmmm, gardens.
I want a garden.
The pic of Rosie looks Victorian.
The yard looks awesome! As do the kids :)
wt, I was thinking of Susannah York and Albert Finney clipping roses in Tom Jones, but it's basically the same thing.
Mary, I love your use of art objects and found art - I can picture it with the mature flowering annuals you describe. And kids playing around it is the "bestest part".
